80 MyCarForum (MCF) members and their loved ones gathered at Masons at Gillman Barracks on Saturday afternoon to celebrate Christmas with Citroen Singapore. Aside from a sumptuous brunch, the event was an opportunity for MCF members to learn more about the Citroen brand and its latest range, in particular its C3 Aircross, which is in the running for sgCarMart's Compact Crossover of the Year 2018. During the event, sgCarMart's Deputy Editor Nigel Yong shared his experience driving the C3 Aircross, which he describes as 'a quirky-looking compact crossover that's highly practical'. "The C3 Aircross, with its pudgy proportions, slatted rear quarter glass and animated two-tier headlamps, is so unorthodox that you can't help but love it. And thanks to the PSA Group's PureTech 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbocharged engine that powers it, supplying 110bhp and 205Nm of torque to the front wheels, there's enough spirited performance for zipping around town. More importantly, the amount of storage bins and cup holders on offer meet the standards of its class, while its 410-litre boot is big enough for a family's needs," he said. Dave Wong, Senior Manager Sales & Marketing, Cycle & Carriage France, continued by giving the guests further insights into the rest of Citroen's history, technology and range, which currently comprises the C4 Cactus and Grand C4 SpaceTourer, too. At the same time, guests had the opportunity to test drive the full range of Citroen models, while those who were waiting for their turns enjoyed quizzes and a round of Bingo. Of course, in the spirit of giving, some lucky MCF members also walked away with attractive Christmas hampers. All smiles behind the wheel of the Citroen Grand C4 SpaceTourer! sgCarMart's Deputy Editor Nigel Yong shares what he likes about the C3 Aircross. Guests learn more about the Citroen brand and its products from Dave Wong, Senior Manager Sales & Marketing, Cycle & Carriage France. Tummies have to be filled! Fun and games for guests of all ages! In true MCF Hangout tradition, everyone goes home happy! Those who have graced the event, and have yet to pen down their reviews of the Citroen cars they drove, can submit one here!

It's a boring Friday........and since there is a star award going on.......let's have some fun in guessing who is the richest guy in MCF.........those old Farkers who always compare income tax I think you guys outdated liao..............i just saw we have a new kid on the block.............he can buy 40 BMW F10 in cash............ @throttle2 pay cash just got a whole new meaning............ come come............let's guess the RICHEST MAN IN MCF.............

Is it just me or is MCF really becoming quiet like a ghost town? Where we used to have a few hundred viewers viewing a hot thread (max I have seen was 1000 at TDON thread), we now have less than 50, and that is also rare, mayb COE threads get that number on those closing days, I saw like 30 over at the exercise thread. Not only viewer rates is down, members participation rate is also down, where we used to have a few thousand posts recorded in a day, I hardly see more than 500 posts recorded now. I remember if you post less than 50 in a day, you cannot even see yourself on the top 20 posters list, now 10 posts get you onto the list, and 50 usually make you the top poster of the day. Anyone knows what has happened or what is happening? Many ppl left? no new members? no interesting topics? replaced by technology? Or is MCF outdated? Any one notice anything? or doing anything about it? or we just let it carry on until no post no view and do an al lang syne?

Here you go. Let's start this thread for fellow UBERers here to share Discuss and discern the riders and drivers we have here. It's a good platform for our own kaki to discuss and help one another. This is more focused cf the other general thread. That said, we do not potong jalan and let UBER still earn the due funds as they have changed the landscape for ride sharing Thanks and let's keep this place civil as always Some advise the UBER kaki can share is: 1. Tips on starting up 2. Common pattern of riders 3. Route management 4. User experiences I'll add in RYDE and grabtaxi in due course

there is something unusual in MCF? The admin and moderator team has been very quiet in the past weeks. - Winner for HTOTM has not been announced (usually within 1st week of the month) - Winner for MWTOTM has also not been announced (we are less than a week away from a new month) - No response with regards to security concerns in MCF and other SPH site - No response to the feedback provided in the newbie and feedback thread - Last but not least, a few requests I have made to MCF's 3 (@pchou @babyblade @kobayashigt) was not attended to... I hope I am just being overly sensitive... Long Life MCF!!!

Where to get a new one? Mine becoming warped and unusable soon. It's the best mat.

The love for cars transcends all boundaries. Just the other night when I was washing my car, a little nod of acknowledgement turned into a conversation that could've passed for one between two long-lost friends, between a 37-year old Toyota 86 owner and myself, who have never met prior. My other half struggles to understand this. How can people from different social, geographical and cultural backgrounds, of different age groups, get together and talk for hours on end about metal boxes on four wheels? But cars are more than that. Cars are special things that can unite mankind better than any religion in the world. The love for cars can begin from as young an age as one, till the day we die. And thanks to the availability of online forums, car enthusiasts have a place to pour their hearts out, whether it's advice for the next mod, best makan places to drive to, or anything under the sun, really. One such forum is MyCarForum (MCF), the official forum of sgCarMart.com. And one rather special member is Mr. Zhou, better known as kdash. A 30-year old civil engineer and a father of two, kdash's love for cars began in the 80s. "I am a sucker for manual 80s and 90s cars from the time when I was growing up and also 'pop-culture' cars such as the DeLorean DMC-12 (Back to the Future); the Toyota AE86, the Mazda RX-7 FD3S and the Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 (Initial D)," he says. As a relatively new car owner who's on his second Toyota Sienta, kdash joined MCF to learn more about cars and at the same time, to make new friends. After joining, he was encouraged by some forum members who responded positively to his 'newbie' questions and that prompted him to continue being active in MCF. He believes that MCF provides an excellent platform where people can ask questions, learn about a particular subject or two and browse through previous posts to find the answers they seek. A big draw for kdash is the many experienced car enthusiasts active on MCF who are ready, willing and able to answer his questions and share their personal opinions on new cars, car maintenance and the car industry in general. "There are also threads on other non car-related topics, and MCF members are generally quick to help and give advice. The various opinions and views shared on many topics also help to give me a broader and more balanced view of the issues discussed." Of course, in return, he also does his part to contribute positively to the forum as much as he can. With MCF, kdash found a community of active forum members who are friendly and ready to accept newcomers like himself. The MCF members actively discuss the various hot topics of the day, and are always ready to share a joke and not take things too seriously. In his daily surfing of MCF so far, there are always funny, interesting and encouraging posts, which make his day and compels him to come back day after day. Like many, kdash is appreciative and respectful of all the views of senior members and most importantly, he likes that everyone knows when to be serious and when to relax and joke around. "I believe that as time passes, people will be able to get a glimpse of who you are by what you post, and that fosters the friendship and familiarity, which I see in MCF currently for the regulars. I feel that I am generally accepted in the forum, and encouraged to find and meet like-minded individuals here." That newfound friendship, however, is not limited to the web. After two months of joining MCF, kdash managed to make friends and got involved in some of the informal activities like meet-ups, lunches, and even a running group. "It is always good to be able to put a face to some of the members and get to know one another better so that we can better understand the context when someone posts in the forum," he says. With all the interactions and interest in MCF, kdash hopes that MCF will continue to be around for many years to come, and hopes to also be able to contribute positively to that effect. Like the Toyota 86 owner I met while washing my car, kdash and the other MCF members prove that the love for cars transcends all boundaries. And judging from that love, you won’t have to hope hard, kdash.

With reference to: http://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/sph-starts-retrenching-staff I wonder if MCF will be impacted since the main cash cow is SGCARMART and not us. Will MCF be shut down or be sold-off?

Guys......looking around to join more forum chat topics and come to mind that there is no APP for MCF. Therefore, suggesting MCF to come up with an APP both IOS and Andriod, this way, most of us Bros and Sis can have them all on hand. Using mobile phone website to access is not convenient at all. Anyone support your ideas and we can feedback with MCF looking into it. Ideas can range from functions and designs or anything you may think off. Even if someone can contact MCF bosses. I am sure this can work somehow.....Cheers.

Admin, often when I click on the conti talk folder, it auto redirect to some spam ad pages. Not sure if the MCF mobile interface got bug or what? Using IOS 10.3.2

It’s the season to be jolly and MyCarForum (MCF) has a special announcement just for you. Accessing the Forum and the Blog sections is now much more convenient with your smartphones as MCF is now mobile friendly! Stay tuned for more as the Marketplace and Lifestyle sections become available on mobile next year. We appreciate any feedback that you may have on the new MCF mobile site and we invite you to submit them below!

Thought I'd create awareness on how we enforce rules here. Look at the article below and you will see what I mean. https://www.allsingaporestuff.com/article/sph-owned-hwz-forum-doing-little-curtail-racist-offensive-remarks-against-sporean-malay There are the naysayers that say we strict, rigid, etc, and compare us with HWZ. Well, look at the above and you see the kind of respect we have for members here. The mods here enforce to keep this place sane and apart from the banter we have and all, we respect the national rules lest they go afoul and create any form of tension that we do not want. Some have tried to be nationalistic and all, and that is fine, but to denigrade others really borders on sedition and I personally, do not condone that here Thus, all in all, MCFers are pretty cool, save for @enye...hahahha but it's about the continuity in this place and we hope to keep it that way. Have a great Xmas all and to a better 2017. I post the posting from ASS here(although i know this farhan is a fictitional nuisance.....this is an apt post): SPH-OWNED HWZ FORUM DOING LITTLE TO CURTAIL RACIST OFFENSIVE REMARKS AGAINST S'POREAN MALAY MUSLIMS Submitted by farhan on Mon, 19/12/2016 - 10:49am Dear A.S.S, I am very upset that Singapore Press Holdings (SPH) is not doing much to curtail the constant racist and offensive comments made by some of the members of Hardwarezone, a site that they own. From my observation, several members of that site like to make fun of Malays and Muslims. Advertisement Even a thread that initially had nothing to do with Malays or Muslims will end up having someone turning it into one which will ultimately result in another person contributing an offensive remark. The following is one instance: http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/eat-drink-man-woman-16/go-church-got-w... (See attached photo) The member who made that comment has been a member since 2013 and has posted about 60,000 comments. Browsing through his comments, you can see that many are insulting to Malays or Muslims. SPH should be proactive in banning such members for life. Upset Minority A.S.S.

Hi All, Just Received our 1st issue of MCF MAG, also featured our dearest moderator, RadX.

AS above, with all the questions and 1 liner threads we are getting, has MCF really become the next google? All sorts of threads have been coming on board with NO REFERENCE SPECIFIC that GOOGLE cannot find. Have people beome too lazy or have they gotten used to being spoonfed? I see threads coming on board like: 1. Holidays 2. Directions 3. LIFE and DEATH issues that govt has all the answers and mind you EVEN when these THREADS are HERE, PEOPLE STILL NEVER SEARCH! That said, I REALLY appreciate the hundred other MCFers who DO SEARCH and do their diligence and I thank you for that! For the rest...nevermind.... Your comments please!

'No plans' for more casino licences for now Lim Yan LiangThe Straits TimesTuesday, May 12, 2015 20150512_casino_1.jpg Dealers at the Marina Bay Sands (MBS) all ready before the casino opened at 3.18pm on 27 April 2010. The casino’s two lower levels are mass gaming floors, while high rollers play in VIP rooms on the upper two levels. 0 0 0 0 0 Print Singapore has "no plans" currently to offer additional casino licences when the moratorium on such licences expires in 2017, Senior Minister of State for Trade and Industry Lee Yi Shyan said yesterday. The Government will instead focus on working with the two integrated resorts (IRs) to ensure their attractions and services continue to meet the needs of Singaporeans and enhance the country's tourism appeal, he added in Parliament. Singapore put in place a 10-year moratorium on new casino licences in 2007, following the two awarded for the Marina Bay and Sentosa sites. The two casinos were granted exclusive rights in Singapore from 2007 to 2017, partly so that their operators - Las Vegas Sands and Genting Singapore - could get a head start in recouping their large investments. Responding to a question from Workers' Party Non-Constituency MP Gerald Giam on whether the Government has received any requests from existing or new casino operators to issue more licences after 2017, Mr Lee reiterated the Government's stance of working with the existing operators to improve their offerings. Mr Lee said the two IRs have contributed between 1.5 and 2 per cent of GDP, and created more than 20,000 jobs. He also noted that many economies in the region have been building casinos: the Philippines will have five IRs by 2019, and South Korea will also have five by 2018. Japan and Taiwan have also expressed interest in building IRs. "This is the international competitive landscape in terms of major cities improving their tourism attractions, so this will be one set of considerations that we have to take into consideration as and when we consider the next steps," he said.
